The Context of White Supremacy hosts the 5th study session on Randall Sullivan’s LAbyrinth : A Detective Investigates the Murders of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B. I. G., the Implications of Death Row Records’ Suge Knight, and the Origins of the Los Angeles Police Scandal. Sullivan is an actor, journalist, producer, screenwriter, and author who’s hosted a television program on Oprah Winfrey’s network and written reports for The Washington Post and Rolling Stone. And, he’s a White man. Way back when The C.O.W.S. was in middle of reading Jeffrey Toobin’s The Run of His Life, Gus said that a master class on the Simpson trial would examine that case in context with the beating of Rodney King and the subsequent trial and rioting, the LAPD Rampart scandal, and the assassinations of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. The book club just concluded Geronimo Pratt’s biography, which examines how the very same LAPD and Los Angeles district attorney’s office conspired to keep an innocent black male caged for 25 years – where he could have easily been killed. Importantly, the former Black Panther and COINTELPRO victim Pratt was Shakur’s godparent. Last week Sullivan explicitly demonstrated his disdain for black people and, likely, his dedication to White Supremacy by describing Christopher Wallace as a character out of a “minstrel show.” Interestingly, this portion of text is redacted from the audio book. Sullivan continues referring to black people as gangbangers and the n-word. He also revealed that Whites in Las Vegas were not concerned with investigating and prosecuting the Tupac Shakur murder. The iconic musician was just another black male gangbanger. No need for an OJ Simpson-like trial to make Las Vegas look like L.A.
